Explore Culture and Cuisine

Between stops, window shops the boutiques and people watch in bustling plazas, embracing that effortless bohemian spirit Barcelona beautifully embodies.
Museums and galleries scattered throughout the Gothic Quarter and El Raval reward days spent immersed in artistic masterworks. Pace yourself wander the expansive halls, taking time to fully appreciate each creative vision from the old masters through Surrealism and beyond. Then, unwind at an outdoor café with a cold drink or artfully-crafted snack before the next round.
Escape the heat, hype and crowds back in the city center in hopes of finding a hidden cove or colorful fishing village up the coastline unfazed by time. Snooze under a palm tree, take a long, lingering dip in emerald waters, and feast on the fresh catch simply prepared.
Then, as the sun sinks lower, amble along the boardwalk and toast to your great fortune of bearing witness to yet another Catalan sunset made more vivid by paella and regional rosado.
